Chapter 253 Five Spots

Mu’s Agency

Top floor.

“We have just learned that Primo has launched a new initiative with new benefits and has Avril as their spokesperson. Here’s their plan. Take a look.”

Mu’s Agency’s president was sitting on his swivel chair in his office. He handed the file to Mu Shuangwan.

The president of Mu’s Agency was naturally from the Mu Family. He could be counted as Mu Shuangwan’s cousin.

Mu Shuangwan frowned upon hearing the name Avril. Avril was an international star with powerful influence. Primo must have gone to great lengths to invite Avril to advertise for them.

Mu Shuangwan picked up the file. A few glances later, her expressions changed.

“Fifteen percent off? Anyone choosing a master trainer’s service can be guaranteed a spot in the Top 50 of the Elite League?”

Mu Shuangwan was startled.

Primo was offering a generous incentive.

Discounts aside, Primo promised a spot in the Top 50!

She knew better than anyone about the benefits of the store she represented. One of the selling points of the store was that they promised anyone choosing the professional training a spot in the Top 100.

However, Primo was using the same selling point and they took it one step further: immediate admission to the Top 50!

As such, the Pixie Pet Store’s only appealing point would be her reputation.

That being said, Mu Shuangwan was well aware that while she could help Su Ping’s store build up a name to make money, Su Ping had to leverage his own strengths. After all, customers were not fools. They would not be so hot-headed as to throw their money to Su Ping’s store just because of her, one celebrity.

The income her fans could bring to Su Ping was less than one tenth of her endorsement fee.

“Master Mu Rong is the one supporting Primo,” President of Mu’s Agency went on with a frown, “The store you’re representing, as I’ve heard from you, is frequented by Venerable the Blade. However, you don’t have concrete information about the relationship between Venerable the Blade and the store. Maybe Venerable the Blade was just passing by. Maybe he and the store owner are nothing but normal friends.

“Say Venerable the Blade is indeed related to the store… He’s a battle pet warrior, not a trainer. People respect him but would not spend a great deal of money to worship him. Agreeing to this job was a rash decision.”

Mu Shuangwan’s face was clouded.

Song Lu kept her head low throughout the conversation. Inside, she was crying bitterly without end. She already regretted ever introducing Mu Shuangwan to that store.

By the time Primo bested this store, Mu Shuangwan’s advertisement would become a laughingstock in the industry, which would be detrimental to her reputation.

“Now, go and contact the store owner. Talk to them and see how they plan to respond.” The only thing to do was to find some solutions to cope with this situation. “Yes.” Song Lu breathed in relief and nodded at once.

At the store.

“Su Ping, this is bad!”

Su Lingyue got up from the sofa and hurried to the counter. She dragged the customer to the side, built up a shield with her astral powers as she said in a low voice, “Take a look at this.”

Su Ping wondered about what situation could make her act this jittery. He looked at the news as she spoke. A highlighted title jumped into his sight.

She swiped the page and Su Ping read on.

“The Top 50?”

Su Ping raised his eyebrows.

Was this a strategy targeting his store?

He had just announced an immediate admission to the Top 100 and Primo later declared they could get you to the Top 50. This was obviously aimed at his store.

“What to do? How could Primo do this? Why would they want to steal away business from us, a much smaller store?” Su Lingyue was both angry and anxious. She was familiar with their family store. Although Mu Shuangwan was their spokesperson, Primo also had a world-class star to represent them.

Besides, apart from the celebrity effect, Mu Yunfei had personally validated the many benefits of Primo—he was the champion of the previous Elite League.

Also, Primo was a time-honored store in the Longjiang Base City. Even people from the shantytown area knew that Primo was the best of all the pet stores. The prices were high but so was the quality.

At the moment, such a store was competing against Su Ping’s store.

Primo was renowned; it had a long history and had served countless customers whereas Su Ping’s store was just a green hand in this game. It was like throwing a rock at an egg!

“Brother, aren’t you worried?”

Su Lingyue was hopping mad while Su Ping reamined calm. She even wondered if Su Ping was a bit thick-headed and couldn’t quite fathom what this news meant.

Su Ping took his sight away from the news. A glint of coldness rose in his eyes. Primo was choosing to crush the single most appealing benefit of his store. As people would often say, to cut off one’s fortune was to kill one’s parents! “Top 50…”

The glint of coldness flickered in his eyes. “Let’s say Top 10 then! Don’t they want to crush us? Then let’s make sure that they will never rise again!”

Su Lingyue was in complete astonishment.

The Top 10?

This was the Elite League they were talking about. All the young people in the Longjiang Base City that were eligible would be entering the competition. The Longjiang Base City was not a large one but it had a population of over 10 million. At least one million would be registering

He would claim a chance at a guaranteed admission to the Top 10?

The probability to reach the Top 10 was basically one in a million!

“You, keep yourself together. If you make this promise, you can never take it back!”

Su Lingyue came back to her senses; she quickly tried to talk some sense into him.

Su Ping saw the concern on her face. Inside, he heaved a sigh. His sister wouldn’t always listen to him but she was family. At the end of the day, only his family would worry about him and care about him.

He rubbed her head and said, “I know what I’m doing. Go and play by yourself.”

Su Lingyue jerked her head away from his hand. She knew he had messed up her hair again but this was not the moment to worry about it. “Don’t be so stubborn. Do you know what it means to be one of the Top 10? They would have to reach the eighth-rank, or have the abilities equal to the eighth-rank. You can make it to Top 10 for sure but it is going to be difficult if you’re trying to help someone else achieve that!”

“There, there. I understand.” Su Ping patted her shoulder but didn’t explain further.

He turned around and asked the customer that was about to pay his bill to give him another second. Then, he stepped aside and called Song Lu.

Beep!

The call went through quickly.

“Hello? Mr. Su? Good, I was just about to call you,” Song Lu said. She had just left the office and was about to call Su Ping to discuss how to cope with the current situation.

Only after Su Ping told her what his plan was could she decide how they should act upon this job.

They didn’t want to jeopardize Mu Shuangwan’s hard-earned reputation just because of some advertisement.

Mu Shuangwan was popular but she had a fair share of enemies and anti-fans. This would be a chance for them to kick her while she was down.

“Is this about Primo?” Su Ping asked.

Song Lu sounded surprised. “You already found out? Good. Mr. Su, what are you planning…” Su Ping replied, “Help me contact the advertisement agency and get this. My pet store is launching a new promotion, a guaranteed admission to the Top 10 but only five spots are available. First come first served. I will text you the details.”
